Does anyone else know what would cause my alocasia to get brown tips like these? I propagated them from corms. They’ve been in leca the whole time. Dr. Planta says lack of drainage. I only put a bit of water in the jar (see pic). Is it still too much water? I realize the leca is wet in the picture, I just watered it. The leca is usually pretty dry except at the bottom obviously. lol

Low humidity or dry soil! 🙂

Or fluorite in the tap water since they’re in Leica! Buy bottled water and try that!
